Shortswords

Shortswords have come back into fashion the last couple of years.  These are particularly popular for ceremonial pieces.

In this category are shortswords that have yet to be snapped up that I made for my own learning and enjoyment

These shortswords are made with the same amount of care as my other items, but present their own unique challenges.  I have hand forged and ground from known grades of carbon steel such as 1075 and 1084. They are then fitted with a variety of handle materials.

This can be from simple steel guard and pommel, to brass, bronze, silver and particularly wrought iron as well as the occasional bone
